Description

Despite being a pair of stoners from Hull, Baby Mammoth are scarily prolific. Since 1994, this unassuming down-tempo duo have released an astonishing seven albums. Motion Without Pain--their seventh long player for hometown label Pork--is probably their best so far. It takes up where 1999's Swimming left off, mixing glistening guitar licks with chunky down-tempo beats, swirly ambient synths and humorous vocal samples. This time, Mammoth main men Blissendell and Burdall have opted to add zippier beats and chunkier breaks, resulting in a far more focused album than previous releases. In fact, itmore…'s the more up-tempo tracks here that work best. "Tasty Maloney" pitches a particularly funked-up, chunky breakbeat against shimmering synths and a haunting trumpet solo, while "Pacific Glitter" mixes sunny Mediterranean guitar riffs with stripped-down beats. Mammoth even find time to go all drum and bass, on the outstanding title track (think LTJ Bukem with hammond organ solos and blissful guitar solos). Like their good friends Fila Brazilia, Baby Mammoth seem to be getting better with age. --Matt Anniss
